Katie Hamilton Photography

Although you will mostly find me photographing weddings around Oxfordshire I also love to travel so will be seen snapping weddings across the UK and destination weddings abroad! I also love to capture families when I’m not busy photographing weddings.

I’m the kind of photographer who just loves to have fun! I want to make images that reflect the pure joy, happiness and laughter that your wedding day or family shoot will bring. I will make friends with your guests and family and be as much of your day as you want me to be, always there to lend a helping hand where needed! I really do believe that the natural smiles come from people being totally comfortable with me so make it my priority to slot right into your day, as if you had known me for years. I want to capture your true personalities so you wont find too much in the way of formal posing, just a little guidance when needed. This is your day so want the portraits to be as fun and relaxed as I can make them, it is your story I am telling after all!

If you think I might be the kind of person you'd like to photograph your wedding day or Family, then please do get in touch – I would love to hear from you!

"What can we say about Katie, no matter what I write it won't even come close to the sentiments we want to express and what she added to our perfect day. Katie was one of the people we had regular contact with leading up to our big day, she was on hand to answer questions and just to have a chat. I really felt as though I had known her for years. We met with Katie and her lovely family and knew instantly that we wanted her to capture our day, she had so much passion for our vision and our venue (as her beautiful wedding took place there) I was so overwhelmed at her passion for our wedding and the beauty of each and every photo she took. Everyone commented on how amazing she was and how discreet she was capturing the small but hugely significant detail. Katie really set the pace for the day and supported me more than a photographer, my husband even caught her filling up the dwindling sweetie jars and that made me smile. Katie quietly liaised with the band, the wedding planner etc to make sure could capture the photos she knew we would love. When Katie left (which I'm sure was well past her time) you could see she wanted to carry on capturing our perfect day, she was so accommodating it was almost as though I had another bridesmaid there. We can't thank Katie enough and the photos are just breathtaking. I now have my vision captured forever in photo form and We are so very grateful! Thank you so much Katie, We couldn't have imagined our day without you in it. Perfect in every way"

"Steve and I can't even put into words how pleased we are with our photos. Having had photos done in the past by Katie, as soon as we booked our venue we got in touch with Katie, not wanting her to be booked already. We could not have asked for a lovelier person to share our day with and interact with our guests. We truly feel we have the best wedding photos (a number of guests have also commented they have never seen such beautiful photos). We only wish we had a bigger house to show off all our beautiful photos. Thank you Katie, you have given us beautiful photos to cherish forever."

"I am so happy we picked Katie to be our wedding photographer - we literally couldn't have asked for a better one! We are both not massive fans of having our photo taken but felt so much more relaxed about the idea after our first meeting with Katie. She was so warm and friendly and made us feel relaxed and completely confident in her abilities. So much so that the crazy bridal control freak in me was happy to let her do exactly what she thought was best on the day, which definitely paid off! We felt totally at ease with Katie at the wedding and she had the perfect balance of blending in whilst being assertive enough to get everyone in the right place at the right time - all our guests were commenting on how lovely she was. She was great at getting random passers by out of our shots! We were also extra impressed with how she managed to get so many great shots of our very active 2 year old nephew. The results are a load of absolutely beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Katie to anyone, I can't thank her enough!"

"Katie travelled down to Polhawn fort in Cornwall to photograph our wedding. I looked through so many local photographers and it was only when I came across Katie that I found exactly what I was looking for.
Our wedding photos are incredible. Katie managed to capture the most beautiful moments of our wedding without us even realising. She has a real talent for photography and such attention to detail. Her photos are so natural, we feel very lucky to have had Katie photograph our wedding and could not be happier with our photos. Katie is also a lovely person and so easy to work with! Wish we could do it all again."

"A M A Z I N G - I honestly think Katie has the perfect balance between professional and like having your best friend with you. Katie did our wedding day and she was commanding but not bossy, was super fun and most of all calming. Katie was fantastic beforehand and after the wedding at accommodating our needs. We have just booked Katie in for our ‘bump’ pictures and I am sure we will see her at very important occasions in our life forever. Thank you Katie!"

"Having trawled through many photographer websites (and seen the range of prices for photographers!)but not found quite what we wanted...although saying that, we didn't really know what it was that we wanted - I love photography and used to do a lot myself in my spare time, however it wasn't as important to my husband (to-be at the time) until I reminded that the only thing you keep from the day itself (other than each other!) is the memories and photos. I was so excited to have found Katie and her amazing work - we felt we 'connected' with it straight away. I actually saw her photos on a friend's facebook page of another friends wedding and felt they were so natural and fun. Having asked my friends for their review, I felt very confident that Katie would be perfect for us. The price felt right, and she very kindly included an engagement photoshoot too - which was ideal to get to know each other and to feel more comfortable in front of the camera! Katie is so much fun and it certainly felt more like having another friend there on the day, rather than just someone you don't know getting in the way - or your face! Thank you again for making our day - and memories of it - perfect Katie!"

"Katie photographed our wedding in August 2017 and we could not be happier with the photos! They are stunning! Katie was a joy to work with before, during and after the wedding. We met for an engagement shoot a few weeks before the wedding, which is a great idea, I would fully recommend doing this. Then, on the day Katie managed to capture all the happiness and little details of the day perfectly. For a couple that hate having their photo taken, we couldn't love the finished photos more! If you're looking for a photographer for you wedding, look no further!"

"Choosing Katie was without question the best decision we could have made on our special day. Not only does Katie have an exquisite eye for detail and absolute perfection, but her professionalism is unrivalled. The quality of the photos is simply stunning; Katie really has helped capture the most amazing day of our lives into something we will remember for a lifetime. I would recommend to anyone getting married that you choose Katie as your photographer; she's kind, helpful and truly amazing at what she does."
